FAQs
Managed internet from Alert Data ensures your network is securely configured, monitored and optimised to reduce exposure to cyber threats. Firewalls, secure routing, and proactive monitoring help protect data in transit, minimise downtime, and maintain compliance with UK data protection regulations.
Alert Data implements secure network architecture, monitoring, proactive alerts, and optional integration with firewalls and threat detection services. Both broadband and leased line services are optimised to minimise exposure to cyber threats while maintaining high performance.
Broadband delivers shared, contended internet access suitable for standard business use such as email, cloud applications and VoIP, with speeds that can fluctuate depending on network demand and distance from the exchange. A leased line, in contrast, provides a dedicated, uncontended connection with guaranteed speeds, low latency and full bandwidth, making it ideal for multi-site offices, cloud-hosted systems, high-volume data transfer, and applications where consistent performance is critical.
For standard business operations, cloud tools, VoIP and everyday connectivity, broadband offers a cost-effective and flexible solution. Leased lines, however, provide guaranteed speeds, low latency and uncontended performance – ideal for multi-site offices, latency-sensitive applications, hosted security systems or organisations that cannot tolerate downtime. The right choice depends on your bandwidth needs, performance requirements and operational priorities. Our team of experts will help you decide which solution is best for your business.
The cost of a leased line will depend on:
- Number of IPs required
- Speed or bandwidth
- Distance from exchange

The cost of UK business broadband will depend on:
- Service availability
- Speed
- Upload versus download
- If fixed IP is required (e.g. for access control as a service).

Managed internet gives you reliable, high-performance connectivity without the overhead of maintaining it yourself. Key benefits include guaranteed uptime, proactive monitoring and support, optimised routing for cloud and VoIP applications, rapid fault resolution, and the ability to scale bandwidth as your business grows. It reduces IT workload, improves operational efficiency, and ensures your critical systems stay secure and always connected.
The choice depends on your site size, bandwidth needs and applications. SoADSL works for smaller offices or backup connectivity, SoGEA suits multi-user environments, FTTP delivers full fibre speeds for cloud-first businesses, and G.Fast is ideal for sites near cabinets needing high upload/download performance.
Alert Data can advise and manage the right solution for your business.
Yes, we source the best available technology for your location. SoADSL, SoGEA and FTTP can all be delivered where infrastructure exists, and we can advise on alternatives if fibre is not yet available. Alert Data manages deployment and ongoing service to keep rural or remote sites connected reliably.
SoGEA is Fibre broadband without a traditional phone line, offering the same performance as FTTC which is reaching end of life. It reduces line rental costs, future-proofs your business ahead of the PSTN switch-off, and is ideal for modernising connectivity. Alert Data can implement and manage SoGEA as part of a fully supported service.
Dark Fibre is an unlit, unmanaged optical path between sites, giving full control over how you light and manage the fibre end-to-end. It can deliver speeds up to 100Gbps per wavelength with virtually unlimited capacity expansion, ideal for enterprises, data centres, or organisations needing maximum control and scalability. Alert Data supports Dark Fibre deployments as a fully managed service, so IT teams get end-to-end reliability without added complexity.
